•  the remote units call the server application modem when needed and eventually retry in the 
case they found it busy; this time the phone number to be stored is only one, the server number 
which must be stored on the remote units. 
In both cases, once connected, the remote unit sends the meteorological data to the server, which 
places it in a central database for further reading by anyone who accesses the meteorological internet 
site for example. 
The drawback of this approach is that the CSD modem needs about 30s to establish the connection 
and, depending on the amount of data to be transferred (usually few hundreds bytes), some seconds 
to transfer them. So let’s say we pay a 40s call while we need only 10s to transfer data. 
1.1.2 GPRS application example 
The same application can be preformed with all the Telit modules using the GPRS feature. 
The remote unit is always connected to the internet taking advance of the features of the GPRS 
system, when it needs to send data to the server application it simply fills the TCP/IP packets for the 
server with the meteorological data and gives them to the Telit module to deliver. The central server 
has a single modem to connect to the internet, receives the TCP/IP packets from all the remote units 
and places the contained data in the central database. 
The advantage of using GPRS is that the remote unit is always connected and reachable and it pays 
only for the amount of data (small) transferred and not for the connection time as in CSD operations; 
in addiction the call billing is equal for devices placed anywhere in the Network Operator State and the 
server can be anywhere in the World.  
Furthermore, in the CSD operation the server shall have a set of modems and multiple phone lines to 
ensure that the calling units will not find it busy, while a single modem is enough for GPRS operation. 
The speed at which the packets can be downloaded is up to 57600 bps (class 10 device working at 
4+1), 4 times faster than CSD. 
 
In the following paragraphs more detailed information will be given on how to establish GPRS 
connection.
